As Igor suggested, Vimeo is OK & seems to have better reproduction than YT. It's a long time since I posted on V but I seem to remember there was a monthly size limit unless you had a paid account. I also have a Dropbox account but the free amount is full & they keep pestering me to pay for an upgrade. IMO these hosters are greedy, after all they wouldn't have a site if we didn't post shows on them. Considering the amount of revenue they must get from advertisers. Rosy

Hi Gary I don't post shows on Facebook or Audible Magic, so I've never suffered from what's happening to you. I do get loads of flags on YT as I use copyright music most of the time. I don't have a paid YT account, so mostly YT says I don't have to do anything, but my show may not be visible in certain countries. However, last month I got a YT message that one of my shows had been flagged & if I didn't remove it my channel would receive a black flag. The show was the one about buying the Go Pro Black & I smelled that GoPro had a hand in what YT had done, so I removed it as I didn't want my channel black flagged. To get around what's happening with your shows on FB or AM, if you must post your shows in so many places, can you not just post a link to them on FB & AM? Last week I got a YT Thumbs Up for my channel & was offered some vouchers to get money off various products, I declined. Rosy.

Gary Are you using the full screen view of the trim video function? Rosy

Hi DG It was Photo Fold that wasn't working in Georges post above? I've never used them but I think they must be different. Rosy

Hi Aplman I'm a year behind you at 83. been using PTE since 2007. I use W11 in my PC. I've slowed down in recent years but used to be prolific in producing shows. Nowadays I try to produce one a month just to keep my hand in. Our main difference is, I always download the latest version of PTE or its upgrades as soon as they are announced. I have my PTE programme set to download the latest upgrades automatically & over-ride the last version. I don't use many of the new innovations, I've never used a custom style, PTE's standard styles suit my style. Most of my shows contain mostly video clips & I use most of PTE's video innovations as I couldn't afford an expensive video editor. I use PTE's sound editing programme infrequently as I was brought up on Audacity & can't shake it off. I think you said you have tried 11 but went back to 10. The way i do things I don't really notice any difference in the upgrades unless one comes along that I might try just to see if I can get it to work, if I can't I just carry on as before. Rosy

Spooky Just had notification to take down this show from YouTube or my channel will get a take down strike against it. No mention of copyright. My guess is GoPro has a lot of clout!! Can't be bothered fighting it, so the show is off YT Rosy.

Klaus You should read all the posts, see mine at the beginning. Rosy

There is an icon that could be where you decided to put it, see attached screen shot. I put it where it is because it's where I've always had it. Rosy. It used to be called "The Toaster" Rosy

Have you got an auto transition between the clips? Rosy.

Hi Gary I have more problems with my smart phone, similar to the GP. Came to SP late 2019 & never really caught up. I keep mine clear of clutter & just use it for calls & texts. Calls are a pain as I wear 2 hearing aids. Also get lots of electronic feedback on them as I also wear spectacles. You're fighting a losing battle with me I'm afraid. Rosy PS Pinball Wizard is my theme song, almost.

Hi Gary The camera has gone back. Took one piece of video 55secs & stretched it into a show. It's hidden on the forum in the new equipment section. You may not have seen it? The link to YT is Gopro Gone Thanks for trying. Rosy.

Is actually the title of our latest effort on YouTube. You may have read & watched Gary's Irish shows & my comments about his Gopro Hero 11 Black? Well we bought one, wished we hadn't, it was too far advanced for our brains & physical disabilities. This is our story. Now You See It, Now You Don't! Rosy

Hi Gary I went through about 15 guides on YT on the 11 before ordering, as well as the Volta. My eyes just couldn't see the fine detail text & I was making mistakes setting it up, then having to find how to correct them. I was a different person at 75, since then my heart failue has become more acute, so I decided to keep my Panasonic vlogger & grip. Another thing I'd miss with the GP is the Panny's zoom lens, it doesn't zoom much but it's there. Cheers Rosy.

Hi Gary I think the trim video is there because you could be selecting a number of clips from the same master clip. Adjust time range is more singular. BTW the GoPro arrived today & after a couple of hours playing around with it, it's on its way back. It's just too much for my 83 year old brain fingers & eyes. Rosy.

Looks like things are going back to normal. got email just now to say DPReview and Gear Patrol Have Joined Forces Rosy.

Hi again Gary, is this the model / bundle you used? Rosy GoPro

Hi Gary I appreciate that you want to use as much of your show as possible. I'm a martyr to making long shows. I think Tom bought a GoPro 11 last year. Rosy.

Watched show No 2, did you use a gimbal or just a selfie stick for the video shots, thought the night videos were very good, must be an expensive camera? Same comments as before for the portrait stills & video. The music was supposed to be traditional according to the comments on the steps as you went upstairs, I could hear a flute & a fiddle but not a bodrum. Bit too long to keep my interest. Suppose it wa the Biden factor? In my PTE early days I made a show about Newcastle upon Tyne & used clips of the Riverdance music. Riverdance Rosy.

Gary I assume you know that if you haven't got a paid channel, copyright music will only be flagged. I've used copyright music in 90% of my shows on YT. Rosy.

Hi Gary Just got up & watched the first show on food. Comments, you didn't mention "The Ulster Fry" which is the usual name for a full Irish breakfast. Not keen on the portrait (smart phone) shots, some companies like the BBC won't accept them, only landscape. As this was the first show, I would have like to hear some traditional Iris music featuring the flute, fiddle & bodrum. Music Looking forward to the remaining shows. I did a 3 part show & left a couple of weeks between posting each one. Rosy.

Have you tried using the animation modifiers to give a smoother transition between key frames? Rosy.

Hi Tom There is a BBC Techy programme called Click, last week they had a very lifelike female robot creating a receipe. Don't know if this link will work for you ? BBC Robot. Rosy

Some of you already know we had to move home again as our landlady decided to sell our apartment. After spending over £3000 on improvements, we have to leave it all behind. We found an apartment in Darwen Lancashire & moved in on the 21st April. Our 28th wedding anniversary came around this week so I booked a table at Essence, a local eaterie. The meal also turned into a history lesson that I thought warranted a show, so here it is - 28th Wedding Anniversary in Darwen "Spitfire Town"

When you upgraded to 11 did you ask the wizard to import your previous settings? Rosy

What size is your exe file compared to your MP4? If the MP4 is substantially smaller, it could be your equipment it's being played on? Rosy.
